The scramble for the Western league club

The Omaha Gun club will have a grand
match hunt this tall, the losing side to pay
all expenses, including game supper, served
in royal style at one OF the leading hostelries
of the city.
President threw, of the Western league,
will call special meeting for next Sunday
at Kansas City, to take action on the rear
rangement of the schedule, made necessary
by LeavenwOrth'S dropping out.
William G. Cranston, professor of boxing,
has located in South Omaha. The sporting
editor of the BEE takes this method of in
forming MIR. Cranston that there is mistake
somewhere. There has been no meeting of
any description between said editor and said
professor. Call.
There is much disappointment expressed
among the faithful at not being afforded an
opportunity to see Harper pitch before the
club leaves. The game postponed yesterday
should have been played to-day, as both
Omaha and Hastings are minus champion
ship date this afternoon.
If all signs do not fail something will be
heard to drop, with dull, l,sckening thud. in

Among the latter. Omaha might be classed.

the New York Sun: 81 see there has been

There was no game at the ball park yester-
day afternoon, to the disappointment OF sew
eral hundred people who had trudged out
there through a sun hot enough to broil a
mackerel. The grounds were too wet so the
| management claimed, but game could very
| easily have been played. Some provision for
placarding games up town should be made
without further postponement. For instance
| banner could be hung out across Farnam
street at some conspicuous place. This would
save base ball admirers much veXalion very
frequently during the summer.
II. IL. Threw, of Lincoln, president OF the

Threw has the right stuff in him for the chief
executive of a base ball organization, and Is
resolutely determined that no man, or clique

There are many things calling for exhaustive
discussion at the hands Of the league mag
mates, and the sooner they come
to unanimous conclusion with

1t strikes the BEE, Mr.. Threw" inter

club is about to Initiate Leavenworth aud

"Well, can't say, as to that; but / hope
not. Murphy's arbitrary action has opened 6
